A. Do I have to take off socks or pantyhose?
Socks or pantyhose block the electric current used to analyze the body composition, making an accurate analysis
impossible. Bare skin should be in direct contact with the electrodes.
B. Who should not use InBody720 or who cannot have body composition analyzed?
•Examinee who has cardiac pacemaker or other electric medical devices embedded in the body must not be tested using
InBody720.
•Those who may experience difficulty being tested are: the examinee who weighs less than 10kg or over 250kg or who is
shorter than 95cm in height is out of the permissible range of measurements and might see the accuracy of body
composition analysis drop.
•Testing is difficult with the children who cannot hold on to the hand or foot electrode during testing, or amputees or elderly
who have trouble standing still during testing.
•Examinee who have metallic core embedded in the body may see the bodily conductivity affected by the metallic element.
However, the InBody720 retrieves the body composition information from various parts of body, reducing the probability of
erroneous analysis significantly.
C. Can an amputee or people who cannot stretch their hands or feet to the electrode be tested?
It is impossible to test people who cannot contact the electrode. Biospace has a line of products that conduct body
composition analysis on the examinee in bed, without having to get examinee out of bed during the tests. For more
information on this product line, contact Biospace.
D. Is the electric current harmful to the body?
The physiological electric impedance method uses very subtle current that is not harmful to the human body (refer to the
product specifications). Its safety is proven through the certifications from Korea and Europe. Many medical institutions
are using the InBody720.
